A communication mode in an address book to be imported is replaced with a communication mode supporting an own apparatus and registered therein. A control method for controlling a communication apparatus that performs IP fax communication via an IP network, includes importing a destination of G3 fax communication, storing in a storage unit the destination imported as a destination of the IP fax communication to be performed via the IP network, and allowing a user to select a communication mode of the IP fax communication to be performed using the destination stored in the storage unit.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A communication apparatus which is able to perform IP fax communication in accordance with an IP fax communication mode via an IP network, the communication apparatus comprising: a controller configured to import, from an external apparatus, a destination and a fax communication mode corresponding to the destination; and a non-volatile storage configured to store the imported destination and the imported fax communication mode, wherein the controller determines whether the imported fax communication mode is a G3 fax communication mode or the IP fax communication mode, wherein the controller controls a display to display a message for urging a user to change the G3 fax communication mode in a case where the controller determines that the imported fax communication mode is the G3 fax communication mode, and wherein the message is not displayed in a case where the controller determines that the imported fax communication mode is the IP fax communication mode.
2. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the non-volatile storage stores the imported fax communication mode in association with the imported destination.
3. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller deletes a prefix from the imported destination, and wherein the non-volatile storage stores the imported destination from which the prefix is deleted by the controller.
4. The communication apparatus according to claim 3 , further comprising a user interface configured to set whether to delete the prefix from the imported destination, wherein, if deletion of the prefix from the imported destination is set by the user interface, the controller deletes the prefix from the imported destination.
5. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising: a user interface configured to designate a destination stored in the non-volatile storage; and a network interface configured to transmit image data to the destination designated by the user interface.
6. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the communication mode includes an intranet.
7. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising: a user interface configured to select the destination from among imported destinations, wherein the controller controls the display to display the message in a case where the destination is selected by the user interface and the controller determines that the imported fax communication mode of the destination selected by the user is the G3 fax communication mode.
8. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller further controls the display to display, in a case where the controller determines that the imported fax communication mode is the G3 fax communication mode, a first object for changing the fax communication mode to a first type of the IP fax communication mode and a second object for changing the fax communication mode to a second type of the IP fax communication mode.
9. A control method for controlling a communication apparatus that is able to perform IP fax communication in accordance with an IP fax communication mode via an IP network, the control method comprising: importing, by a controller, from an external apparatus, a destination and a fax communication mode corresponding to the destination; storing, in a non-volatile storage, the imported destination and the imported fax communication mode; determining whether the imported fax communication mode is a G3 fax communication mode or the IP fax communication mode; controlling a display to display a message for urging a user to change the G3 fax communication mode in a case where the controller determines that the imported fax communication mode is the G3 fax communication mode, and wherein the message is not displayed in a case where the controller determines that the imported fax communication mode is the IP fax communication mode.
10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a control method for a communication apparatus that is able to perform IP fax communication in accordance with an IP fax communication mode via an IP network, the control method comprising: importing, by the computer, from an external apparatus, a destination and a fax communication mode corresponding to the destination; storing, in a non-volatile storage, the imported destination and the imported fax communication mode; determining whether the imported fax communication mode is a G3 fax communication mode or the IP fax communication mode; controlling a display to display a message for urging a user to change the G3 fax communication mode in a case where the controller determines that the imported fax communication mode is the G3 fax communication mode, and wherein the message is not displayed in a case where the controller determines that the imported fax communication mode is the IP fax communication mode.
